The object of this association is to promote the develop ment of the resources of Sweden and Norway, by facilitating the auplication of capital to safe and profitable enterprise, and it 18 after mature consideration and consultation in Eng land and abroad, with persons interested in the progress of the kingdom of Sweden and Norway, and thoroughly ac quainted with her resources and necessities, that the Di zectora 'with confidence submit this undertaking to the publie. as a sound and highly profitable one to its share hohkers. Such an institution as the present is required in no country more than in Sweden and Norway, whose vast forests, inex haustible mineral deposits, increasing agriculture and com merce, and rapidly rising manufactures, have for years past demanded financial facilities, obtainable only by means of direct credit operations. In a letter received from a high authority in Stockholm it stated that " the opening of the few railways now in use 'has given a great impetus to remunerative undertakings, for which the c , entry itself has not capital ; and it is not too much to say that in the next three years many millions sterling can be readily invested." Six years ago, a Bank, Ender the title of the " Enskilda (private) Bank," was formed In Stockholm, which immediately created a large business for atself, and has since continued it with great success ; the 'annual dividend, reserve included. being: between 25 and 30 per cent. on tie original amount of the shares. The Directors have taken power to issue the Company's Debentures ac , ainst the mortgag s held by the Company, istictly confining the amount of the Debentures to the amount invested in mortgages, and a system of registration be adopted for the protection of the Debenture holders. "`Anslderable profit is anticipated from this brnich of ope zations, as the funds of the Company can thus be turnedover freiquently. From the above sources of profit, the Directors, therefore, Confidently anticipate at least as great a success for dr s Com pany as has invariably attended similar institutions on the Continent, while, in addition to the profit derived from a arterely local business, the English, Swedish, and Continental F inancial Company (Limited will add grea ly to its income through the large agency business which takes place between the North of Europe, England. and various continental cities, Of Which it will, to a considerable extent, be made the Medium. It cannot be doubted that the influential support given to the Company, both in England and abroad, will secure, Immediately, an ample field for safe and lucrative business. The Swedish Loan, lately so successfully negotiated in Lon 'don, pledged to be devoted entirely to advancing the con struction of railways. will greatly contribute to the profitable enlargement of that field. Several important operations are in course of negotiation In Sweden and elsewhere and awaiting the establishment of this Company, the business of which will be winiticted by the Directors on the basis adopted by the principal credit corn • 'panics. Besides the arrangements, nearly completed, for the management of the Company's business in Sweden, negotia tions are r.eucling for establishing influential agencies in the principal commercial cities of the Continent, the Kediterra nexn, and tile Black Sea.

THE CURRENCY QUESTION, TO THE EDITOR OF TUE SUN; SIR,—In venturing an opinion on so important a subject as that of the course which cught to be pursued in respect to a monetary system for India, I do so in ignorance of the customs and habits of the natives of that populous, rich, and extensive dependency of the British empire, but with an understanding that the silver which finds an entrance into that country, either in the form of bullion or coin, is sought after to be hoarded, or converted into ornaments. Now, there is no possible means of staying or preventing an extension of such a course, so long as the people of that country continue to improve their condition. Whatever may be tho amount of silver coined, it will be melted down and disappear, so long as we continue our present system of currency. 1 base all my argument on money on one broad principle, and cannot understand that a sound and wholesome system in one country can be insufficient in another. I have ever been satisfied that the monetary system of England is fearfully defective, and if evidence is required we have only to suppose the same causes in force in England as now exist in India to establish the fret: Let us suppose there to be no Savings Banks in England, and no funded debt where savings can be invested to afford art interest, is it not reasonable to suppose that if the operative classes are in a thriving condition they will hoard gold and silver ? and if they were to do so, would it not effectually defeat our present system of currency? If so, it follows that a national debt savings bank or other securities affording an interest, are absolutely necessary to prevent persons hoard ing the precious metals. If a currency be based on a gold or silver rAawlartl, sus the prices of these metals be fixed, there cannot be any great demand for them without its causing a scarcity of money, which we know from experience will depress the price of all descriptions of wealth and throw labourers out of work and cause great distress, and until the people are reduced in circumstances they will not trench upon their savings, or bring forth their hoarded gold and silver. If measures were passed, giving to coin a higher nominal value than the metals possess, and if they wore convertible, the coin would be exchanged for bullion which would disap pear, and thus effectually destroy the whole system on which our monetary system is based. A stamp gives to a coin a perfectly distinct value from that of the metal. So long as the stamp is respected a coin will pass for its full denominated value as a piece of money, although the intrinsic value of the metal may be little or nothing. The founder of Sparta made it a fundamental principle that its money should not possess intrinsic value; and it is notorious that whilst its coin was made of worthless iron— iron purposely rendered worthless by being deprived of its malleability—for whi c h i t was the scoff o f surrounding nations, the people of Sparta were the admiration of the whole world, and so they continued for nearly 500 years; but so soon as Lysander began to break through the severe p ro hibition of Lycui ga s aga i nst the use of go ld an d silver money, from that time hist or i ans date th e c ommencement of her decline. In respect to our silver and copper little or no respect has for very coins in circulation,y mayears been paid to the intrinsic value of the metals. Many of the silver coins in circulation are so worn that they are not worth so much as when issued by 10 or 12 per cent, , it therefore admits of their being greatly sweated, l ev ing the knaves and sw i n dl e rs a large profit. And i n respect t o o ur copper or b ro nze coins there are many of theftnot worth so much in metal, as the sum they represent by 60 per cant, pieces are punched oat of them, and slices cut off, without in any respect taking from them their character as pieces of money, or as of an altered medium of exchange. It is well understood in this country that by our present l aws a pound currency is 123 1-274 grains of gold of stan dard quantity (that is to say, it contains about the 1- 12th part g and a penny are fractional partsalloy), and t hat a shill ing of such g old p ound, the s ilver and copper (or bronze) coins Why (if the coin s bef o r e mentioned are mere tokens, represen ting a value that does not respectively belong to them) should not the Government take measu res for check ing dishones t p ractices with the silver and co pp er tokens, by issuing them so depreciated in in tri nsic value as not to e xpressed. Why s beingre no thing more th an to k ens represen ti ng th e ssed. admit of their being sweated with any great advantage,leav ing the silver ones, however, of such worth as no to make it a source of profit to forge or coin them. We learn than in China or Japan there exists a paper currency with notes for a less sum than a farthing. Where would have been the real f value ethe g i v ing e g i v ing ffisuc dih notes erence a nominal value had been ff if instead of paper the lea ther, worthless iron ( a s in Sp a rta), i i n nt E rin n a g i; advantage hi. ha v i ng a sma ll value of the materials , whilst all of them would equally re present the sums expr essed• ac; Eng land) stampn tdxo affixed, o s copper r i to n fi c pg e aur or rc e e h hh n ibereoennftz, them h o e f m little e would d intrinsic circulate metallic coin as compa red with an equally small pa p er cur rency, since it is not liab le in a like degree to wear and tear, There is undoubted l y an or to be lost. All trade was originally c onducted on a principle of barter, and there can be no departure from it so long as credit is not afforded, and one pro d uc t of intrinsic value is exch ange d for another—no measure of legislation can change a trans action of barter into moneyA stamp attached t o a p i ece of gold only guarantees the purity of the metal. There is no universal law which constitutes the precious metals money ; therefore it follows that the acts of one nation are not an act of Parliament has no m ore binding on another, and control over the currencies of the world than an ant of the natives of Australia would have over the currency of England. An English gold coin of full weight, called a sovereign, circulates as a piece of money for a pound, the stamp con stitutes the piece of money a pound, and the gold on which the stamp is impressed is of the value assigned to it by the stamp. There are not two values attached to a sovereign— the stamp attached to a Ikea of gold does not add one farthing to the value of the metal. It is true, an act of Parliament renders the stamp on a gold coin inoperative when it has lost a given weight, but it takes nothing from the intrinsic value of the gold remaining ; .the stamp is cancelled, but the gold, like silver or anything else, is left as a oor.modity to find its Value in the market ; its price, however, which measures th e value of the gold, and which belong to the stamp, is fixed. In the case of a Bank of England note for £5, it retains an unaltered nominal value so len t ; as it continues in circu lation, however much it may be torn or soiled; if, however, it were possible to give to the material of the note an intrin sic value, either to the full amount of £5, or only to a part of that sum, questions would certainly arise (if a note were torn) whether persons should adhere to the nominal or intrin sic value. If an English coin called a sovereign be used in payment of a debt for the sum of a pound, the debt is dis charged in substance; or if it be exchanged for something ment was to be made at a future time, would place himself in a position to lose that payment, either from death or other causes, if, however, a document were framed which was intelligible to the generality of persons either in heroglyphics, words, or figures (possessing in itself no intrinsic value), such document (as a medium of exchange) would be money; it would express something of value which any one would be at liberty to interpret as he thought fit; if in gold, the sum or quantity would be equal at the moment to so much corn or cloth, and if in corn or cloth, to so much gold, silver, or anything else. A document such as this is money, and it might be used over and over again in transfers of wealth, increased security being given to it on every occasion of a transfer, by an endorsement of the party parting with it. It is quite possible a document such as described might be so placed as not to command a tenth of its expressed value; in such case he who parted with it would lose nine• tenths of its value, whilst he who obtained the bill would, on presenting it for payment, reap the whole advantage. The object of all persons in a commercial country must be to insure a currency which will not be open to great changes, and of a nature to admit of its being generally re ceived. If then credit notes be the foundation on which all monetary transactions are based, it will naturally follow that such credit notes should be rendered as secure as pos sible, so as to make them readily negotiable. A very large number of bills or documents such as de scribed, intended to afford credit to debtors, may be held by parties whose necessities do not compel them to discount them—they are therefore kept in their possession until they arrive at maturity, when they are discharged without their having ever appeared in circulation. In cases, however, where a creditor cannot conveniently wait until a bill becomes due, he will part with it in pay ment of a debt, or in the purchase of commodities. A very large amount of business is transacted in this country through the medium of this description of money, to which no limit has as yet been attempted, and, by a return of stamp duties (some years since), it was estimated they ave • raged during the year the enormous sum of £500,000,000. Although a person making payment of a debt by means of such bills of exchange, transacts as much business as if he had held Bank of England notes or gold, yet he may occa sionally experience a difficulty in getting a creditor to ac cept payment in bills, which (apart from the trouble itmight give him to search out parties on whom the bills are drawn) may appear to him of a questionable character. Under these circumstances of doubt, a creditor might first require a debtor to affix his signature by way of an endorsement, and as an additional security to such bill by such a proceeding, not only the acceptors, but the drawers of the bill become liable for the fulfilment of the engagement entered into and expressed therein ; and if the bill be again parted with in conducting mercantile affairs, they obtain further security from having attached to them other endorsements, since every person so endorsing a bill senders himself personally liable for the sum expressed as much so as if he had given his own acceptance for the amount. As, however, bills of exchange are of uncertain amounts and not readily nego tiable at a distance from the place where they may be pay able, much inconvenience is experienced in using them, not withstanding the whole system of money is based on such credit notes or documents. I now propc,Q.> holy- ouch bill, ' S c. , mi S l t 120 dealt with in India so as to afford to the whole of that ex tensive and populous empire a currency equ'll to all the re quirements of the Government and necessities of the people. There is no great novelty in part of my scheme if viewed in connection with the mode 3f conducting business by the Bank of England, unless it be that the Bank of England is compelled to pay all its notes in gold at a fixed price, whilst I propose that the Bank should not deal in gold which should be suffered to find its price in the market, and whilst I contend that an issuing bank should have its rate of inte rest or discount fixed, the Bank of England is not restricted to any fixed rate of discount; the discount therefore alters as much as five hundred per cent., making money at one time too abundant and at other times scarcely attainable. Let us suppose a large number of persons in India with great wealth (based on Government or other national securities), composed partly of Europeans and partly of natives, to combine and establish a bank (a com pany for guaranteeing the security and payment of bills of exchange) and let there be a board of direc tors chosen, composed of persons supposed to be most con versant with mercantile affairs, and best qualified to determine the nature and quality of bills of exchange in different parts of the country, such as may be presented at the bank for discount, confining the business of such bank, or company, to the discounting such bills as the directors may approve, having no more than two months to run at the rate of 5 per cent per annum, leaving the rate of in terest or discount open to fluctuation with other banks and on the money market. A bank, such as deciibed, would do nothing more than substitute one sort of paper money for another. Such a measure would effectually prevent the rate of discount rising above 5 per cent, on good security, and consequently there could never be a scarcity of money, whilst on the other hand, if there happened at any time to be but a trifling excess of money in the market, it would be exhibited by banks and others finding a difficulty in ob taining for it 5 per cent., and any abatement in the rate of discount out of doors would have the effect of stopping any further extension of a paper circulation by the issuing bank ; and as the bills becoming due, would probably be at the rate of £5,000,000 weekly, the amount would, in a few days, be so diminished as again to raise the rate of discount to 5 per cent. - There should be but one bank of issue in India, and i. the Government req u i re d a n a dvance of money the ba n should give it on the deposit of Exchequer Bills, at the rate of discount above stated, unless it could be obtained from the public at a lower rate, and that these bills should not have more than two months to run, be limited in amount by legislative measures, and be paid off as the revenue was collected. Assuming the director to act with equal pru dence and judgment, as the Director of the Bank of Eng land, there is every reason to suppose (as every note in cir culation in India would be affording an interest of 5 per cent. per annum) that the shareholders would be returned the ;2terest on the stack transferred into the names of the director or the bank, and, in addition, be paid 5 per cent. per annum, mere for the risk incurred in guaranteeing mere,'the payment of mercantile ; they would thus be entitled to 8 per cent, in lieu of 3, with very little risk of loss. As a proof how little is the risk of los: in England, it is only necessary to remark that £lOO bank stock is worth £240, because it affords an interest of 8 per cent. It has been suggested to me that if such a Ink had the power of issuing, I have now to point out what inat:cement could be held out for persons with great wealth to coni;Jne to form such a bank. e As there will not be required any advance of money, ex , cept for the construction of a banking house, the original capital of the shareholders would be introduced, being in verted as a reserved fund. There might be 20 or 50 millions of Government secu rities affording an interest of only 3 per cent. to proprietors transferred into the names of the director of the bank, as a security against any losses the bank might sustain from mis mangement, and issuing an unlimited amount of paper money on discounting bills at 5 per cent., it might lead to such an extension of trade, and such an advance in the rates of wages and in the prices of commodities, as would generate a further and an indefinite requirement for money at that rate. This suggestion is worthy of consideration, as there can be no doubt but that if the operative classes of this country were fully employed, so that needle women were afforded sufficient means of earning a living, by taking the places of men in shops, and in some cases following agricultural pur suits, as they did in France during the war with this coun try, and that the workhouses were relieved of ablc•bodied paupers, it could not possibly be effected without causing a general rise in the wages of labour, and consequently in the cost and price of the commodities producz d. Thus, then, more money would be required, not only to pay an additional number of labourers and a higher rate of wages, but as commodities would be in increased quantities, and command higher prices, a very great increase would take place in the amount of bills of excnange, for a sum of £l,OOO would possibly r t :Tresent, in a time of great pros perity, but half as much p k :oduce as in a time of great ad versity and depression. But the question here arises, are we to keep down the wages of labour, prevent needlewo:len obtaining other occupations whi c h w ill a ff or d t h em more than a bare exist ence, and limit the quantity of riches which ~..-gight pro duced by additional labour, for the object of insuring to annuitants, landlords, and others, an unchanged or an in creasing means of living? or shall we admit of an increased production of riches, and legislate to afford to annuitants, landlords, &c., such an increase of interest or rental as would keep pace with any increase in the nominal prices of products ? Why should any class of persons be prejudiced when the actual products of the nation are being increased ? If a standard of value of any sort is adopted for the purpose of insuring to annuitants, &c., an unchanged means of living, it is immaterial what that product or standard may be ; the intention in the selection of a standard of value is to insure an unchanged price, not only of the product selected for a standard, but an unchanged price for other things (so far as seasons and improved means of producing them were concerned) which cannot possibly be effected without its controlling the wages of labour, which are the means of pro ducing those things. Why are we now to pursue a different course from that which has been in operation throughout the world from the earliest periods of history. We are told there was a stand dard of value in the time of William the Conqueror, and that a " pound" meant a pound weight of pure silver. A pound weight of silver, like a pound weight of gold, or a pound weight of lead, is not an expression' of value ; the value of one may alter as much as the value of the other, and if a promise be made by oneTerson to another to pay or deliver to him a pound• weight of silver or a bushel of wheat, the payment is determined by the article named—it is for the time being a standard; but the pound of silver no more de termines what shall be given to a labourer as wages for a day's work than does a bushel of wheat; it is only when money in circulation is controlled by the quantity of gold or silver in deposit in the Bank that the price (not the weight) operates beneficially or injuriously on trade. Had there been a standard of value in the time of Wil liam the Conqueror, as there doubtless was a standard for number, one could not have become three—a pound weight of silver, "a pound," could not have become three pounds, two ounces, or three pounds, four shillings. There was no standard of value in the time of William the Con queror either in this or in any other country; there was none in 1717 when Sir Isaac Newton was Master of the Mint, as is proved by a letter of his to the Lords of the Treasury stating that the price of silver altered as much as fourpence an ounce, not measured in gold, but in the ideal unit, the pound of account. In reviewing the foregoing lines I would observe that a bank such as proposed would not create money, it would do nothing more than substitute one sort of paper money, a paper credit, for another. _ . _ The Bank of England does not create bills of exchange (which are uncontrolled in amount, and are instruments of credit, and by credit nine-tenths of the transactions of the country are carried on) it only operates by alteration in the rates of discount, to throw more or less discredit on such bibs. If the Bank of England were to discount every bill of exchange said to amount at all times to £500,000,000, there would be a less amount of money (paper credit) in circulation by five per cent. than !f the bills were not discounted; and if there were no Bank of England and a banking system were unknown to us, bills such as de scribed would become common instruments for the transfer of riches where credit was afforded. A bank note is well known to every one ; it is received in payment of taxes by the Government in all parts of the country, and by landlords, &c., in discharge of rents, tithes, &c. If, then, such notes were issued by a company possessing enormous wealth, in exchange for bills by indi viduals whose names were unknown except to the di rectors of the company, where could such an injury be inflicted ? The public, in a case such as described, would have no thing whatever to do with the affairs of the Bank, except being at liberty to change large notes for small ones, or vice versa, and such as might be much worn or soiled, The business of the Bank would be strictly confined to discounting bills such as the directors approved, and receiving payment for them in notes itsued when they became due, in which case the bills and the notes exchanged would be cancelled. There should doubtless be in India a small metallic cur rency of coins below the intrinsic value of the metal for small sums inconvertible into gold or silver except at the market price. If under these circumstances there should be an excessive demand for silver, the price would continue to rise until checked, when a reaction would take place, and the hoarded silver would be brought forth, for those who had bought it at a low price would be willir g to realise a profit. CHAS. ENDERBY. 4S, Devonshire-street, Queen-square, SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM RACES,-TUESDAY. The approach of the great Epsom event suggests but few remarks. Last night the situation appeared to be un changol. The report from " the Corner" gave the favour ites as firm, but mentioned an apathy and want of spirit in the betting somewhat singular. Blair Athol, that mys terious dark one, added another chapter to his history by being in demand at 10, and soon after dropping rapidly away to 14 to 1. This and the advance of Mr Hodgman's outsider Valiant were the only noticeable features, But this morning on arriving on the Downs a filip was given to the proceedings by a sudden jump made by Mr Merry's horse, who soon after the commencement of business dis possessed General Peel, and was installed first favourite at sto 1. His party were very sanguine, and indeed, if half of what is said about his performances be true, we must consider the Derby as a foregone conclusion. The other leading favourites of course suffered from the Chief's sudden elevation. Ely after the race for the Trial Stakes, in which old Fairwater cut down her horses as she liked, and Isoline, we are sorry to say, broke down so badly that he racing career is likely to be terminated,. came into favour at 16 to 1, but speedily retreated to his old price. Umpire happening to be in good temper did not shut up when collared by Jane Shore in the Brighton Stakes, but won, after a clever race, by a head, the others placed making a good finish. There was some interest attached to the I,Voodcote, though a com paratively small field came to the post for it, one of the best looking ones being a North Lincoln filly of Baron Roths child, with some of the points of her sire about her. She ran, however, rather raw, Gardevisure repeating her victory here in the spring rather easily, The Derby betting had been very brisk during the after noon. The Scottish Chief, after the sudden rush above-' mentioned, towards the middle of the day declined, and General Peel again assumed the lead. There was little al teration in the others, Of the outside division Valiant was most in request, while the Danebury hero has received his coup de grace. The course presented that business appearance always characteristic of off days at Epsom. The Hill was bare, awaiting the crowds that will cover it to-morrow. It is undoubted hard going, but not so bad as some anniversaries have seen. The Craven Stakes of 10 soya each, with 50 soya added, for 3-yr-olds and upwards ; weight for age.

Crossing the road, Fairwater's lead gradually diminished, and she was joined by Blarney and Cutaway, the three running in company to the distance, where she had all her horses beaten, and won in a canter by half a dozen l engths; a bad third.

On reaching the road the Bay Celia filly gave way, and Jarnicoton came on with a clear lead, followed by Lytham, Stockowner, and Lucky Star to the stand, where Mr. York's colt died away, leaving Lucky Star in attendance upon the leader, but without a chance of success, Jarnicoton winning with great ease by a length, two lengths dividing the second and third; Stock owner was a good fourth, Lady Hylda fifth, the Bay Celia filly sixth, with Danaus and Amelia close at their heels, who was whipped in by Aunt Judy and Bangle.

On reaching the dist ince Hesper gave way, and the two•year-old obtained the second place, followed in a few strides after by Attrac tion, who, having made up her lost ground, appeared to be catching the leaders at every stride, but dying away at the stand, the rase was left with the two, Lady Clifden defeat. ing the young one at last by a neck ; Attraction finished third, a couple of lengths in their rear. The others were widely spread, and pulling up as they passed the judge. REVIVAL OF ENGLISH MONASTERIES.

Her ladyship Ras screaming, "Fire, fire," "Save the house." Witness had seen. her ladyship about five minutes before he heard the bell ring. She was then going into her bedroom, and was carrying a silver chamber candlestick in her hand.

H e found Lady de Septeuil in bed in great pain, the wh ole of her body being fearfully burnt, except her face and the soles of her feet. She was cold and puleeleas. He applied the usual remedies in cases of burning, and admid nistered stimulants, but her ladyship died about 19 hours after the accident. A verdict of Accidental Death was returned. will The body of the deceased b e removed to France for interment to-morrow. = complaints, [AnvEurisEraxim]—Consumption, all nervous, bilious liver, and sto mach in every stage, are only ag graag- gravated an d accelerated by dru gs of every description, but P able by Du La i erfealY cur rry' s health restoring Revalenta Arabiaa f oo d, as proved b y thousands of cases which had been c onsidered hopeless.
